Well, phenom video. Are the people that created this F'in geniuses or what, lmao. Such a complicated little thing. Oh, and interesting to know about Kaba's. I hadn't a clue about key control. I DO know if you want to use Medeco keymark you spend like 1,200 and you get your very own keyway, which is pretty cool. When you can get a key blank for a particular keyway- it makes copying them- super easy. I think most manufacturers of locks decided the only way to keep people from hacking key systems lied in key duplication. Like, you can pick or pull a Best SFIC core out of a door, decode it, re-pin it, replace it, and just go have a key cut for that lock. If it's got a master key in it, which it will, you have a key that probably opens up an area of doors, or a wing, or a whole floor, or it you have lazy mech guys working for you= the entire building, hahaha. When you have criminals now-a-days that are becoming more sophisticated key control might be the only avenue lock makers can implement to ensure some level protection.

X4 has peaked my interest for awhile. Thanks for the breakdown.
IC what you did there
Thank you very much for the history, dissection, and analysis of the Medeco X4 -- very interesting and informative -- Thanks for Sharing
Very well explained, thanks Tyler !
Interesting design. Good to see some customers will pay for quality stuff
Do you need different jaw/clamp for the Pro-Lok?
And the math build up for IC is different? Not 23 total?
Very informative.
Very interesting.
x4 patent expires on 2030
